“Despite our tremendous investment of time, effort and commitment, we don't believe the production of the festival can be executed as an event worthy of the Woodstock Brand name while also ensuring the health and safety of the artists, partners and attendees,” Dentsu Aegis Network's Amplifi Live said in a statement.
The anniversary event has had some bumps in the road in the last few weeks. Tickets were originally supposed to go on sale last week, but was postponed . And some of the performers leaked to the press ahead of its announcement.
